I can speak from my experience with an Apple TV, the application “Infuse” works amazing with a jellyfin server. Though the application is essentially $1 month subscription, but works across all your apple devices, if you have any. I think it’s worth it.

Additionally, the official app for Android TV worked pretty well when I last tried it on an Nvidia Shield

I use Photoprism, mainly because it seems stable so far, and it’s good enough for my needs

Thanks for the resources, I’ll check them out later today!

Yeah I’m fairly certain it’s a permission issue. Having the gpu with permissions 666 makes it work inside the containers.

The thing is also that these container images (plex and jellyfin) create a separate user inside, instead of using the root user, and this new user (“abc” for lsio images) doesn’t get added to the same groups as the root user.

Also the render group that gets passed to the container appears as “nogroup”, so I thought of adding user abc to “nogroup” but still didn’t seem to work.

Thanks! I’ll take a look there

Yes I did the Systemd integration at the user level too and I quite like it

I managed this by using tailscale, with a kind of weird setup I think, but it just works.

I have tailscale on the VPS and my local server, let’s say its tailscale name is potatoserver

Then with Caddy on the VPS i have something like:

mywebsite.com { reverse_proxy potatoserver:port }

And so mywebsite.com is accessible on the clearnet through the VPS

Though given you’re getting rid of cloudflare tunnles I don’t know if you’d want to get into Tailscale. There’s Headscale too but I haven’t worked with it so I can’t comment

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. Didn’t know

So I got mixed results. With remote access disabled and just using subdomain for plex, it worked on the Windows desktop app, and my iPhone too through the browser, but on my Apple TV even though I could browse the library and select any video, they would not load.

What ended up working on all my devices is essentially running plex behind a VPN, AirVPN in this case because I need the port forwarding, and enabling remote access with the port assigned in AirVPN.

I followed this guide, in case you’re interested: https://reddit.invak.id/r/PleX/comments/152kihs/guide_plex_remote_access_without_port_forwarding/

I wonder if you can get around this by using cloudflare proxy for a domain and then in the settings for the server disabling remote access and only allowing discovery through your domain? I’m not with Hetzner but I’ll give this setup a try and see how it goes.

I currently have a VPS with Contabo. I think their prices are good. They have normal VPSs for more compute power with nvme storage, and they also have what they call Storage VPS, which I assume uses SATA ssds but they give you more storage vs the other ones. I’d say give them a look

The other day I learned about endlessh. I set that up, switched my actual sshd to listen on a different port, and the ssh login attempts from randoms essentially went down to 0. Pretty neat.
